I Am A Public Library

While some may view museums as homes of the dusty, decrypt, and decaying, I think back fondly to the memories I've made in them. When I was four and living in a small apartment in Shaker Heights, Ohio, my father would take me to the Cleveland Museum of Rock and Roll on the weekends when he wasn’t busy working on his MBA at Case Western Reserve University. Every time we visited, I would tell my father that I would grow up to be just like Elvis, to which he would laugh and scoff affectionately. When we moved to Glen Allen, Virginia when I was six, we would occasionally drive up to Washington, D.C. to the Smithsonian Museums. On some Saturdays, we would walk for hours through the halls of art I didn't understand (and still don’t really understand) at the Museum of American Art. On other Saturdays, we would go to the Library of Congress, where I would press my forehead against the glass of the observation deck—much to the dismay of security guards. But perhaps the most significant "museum" I've been in is just a short three-minute drive or seven-minute walk from my suburban home: the Twin Hickory Public Library.

The library I volunteered at is run by the high school, Dr. Norman Bethune Collegiate Institute (C.I.). The school was founded in 1979 and was named after Norman Bethune; a well-known Canadian doctor. He was best known for his services during World War I and his dedication to helping the poor in Canada. Moreover, over these past few years, the school has prospered beautifully and has had many renovations and changes. For example, two years ago, the school’s library had a huge makeover. The library was given new furniture to allow to have students a better working space. Similarly, the library moved shelves around in order to make it more convenient for everyone to access books. Ultimately, Dr. Norman Bethune C.I. has it in their best interest to provide students with the tools they need to succeed in education. In other words, the school displays good citizenship by assisting their students.

The Little Free Libraries do more than provide reading materials. They also promote a sense of community. According to Bol, “it engages and brings neighborhoods together, and folks take to each other more than they ever have” (Aldrich 3). It brings the people in the communities together where they can interact with each other over the favorite books, magazines, comics or journals. Anita Malchiodi Albedi, a high school English teacher in Solano County California, says her Little Free Library has had a positive impact on her neighborhood community. She remembers fondly being in her garden in her front yard and having three middle school girls stopped by to tell her “hello.” One of the girls even told her that they lived on Pennsylvania street, a very low-income neighborhood where the police are often

What type of audience are the creators of the text appealing to (resistant, neutral, or sympathetic), and how can you tell?

High school relay teams, for example, have built themselves a reputation for craftiness in their fundraising endeavors. We see these young activists designing custom T-shirts to wear around school and town in hopes of garnering attention. This method is particularly effective when fashion plays such a large role in the average teen life, it’s all about making a statement through couture. The same intent is in mind when Relay for Life attendees bake cupcakes of the most trendy flavors. It is not bland vanillas that will make the big bucks, but rather maple-bacons, red velvets, and Nutella-filled variations. The same concept can be applied to posters intended at drawing in potential neighborhood participants. These should not be dull and easy to miss, but rather legible, pithy, and intriguing persuasive memorandum with some sort of hook. Design is important to draw passers-by in. The American Cancer Society intends to let it’s audience know that it’s relationships with its members are symbiotic; the community wants to help you, you want to offer help, and through your assistance, they are enabled to do

In your grievance filed at North Unit, you claim you have been incorrectly charged for library books. You further assert that you returned the library books at the Tucson Complex prior to your transfer to Florence Complex. You are requesting a refund.

I believe the best solution to this problem is taking advantage the two hour waiting time before late practice. The most important thing to fix are the family time problem and the academic problem; however, the only viable option to change the time is morning practice, but morning practice brings in more problems such as transportation for kids who live far out of town and less effective practices. Also, there is no way to use other gyms in town due to the other programs needing shelter from the weather. The next steps that our organizations should take are to implement a study hall period after school. I believe that the best spot for this is the Big Horn library. I understand that students cannot be in the library without

The graph compares the number of book read at Burnaby Public Library by males and females between teh years 2011 and 2014. It can be clearly seen that although at first the number of books were read by women was higher than men. that number decreased in the following years, whre the amount of books wre read by men was low at first then increased significantly.

I am double majoring in honors accounting and finance. I spend most of my weekdays at The Loop campus. I downloaded the Chicago Public Library app onto my cell phone and searched for a library branch location close to The Loop. I have class accounting and business calculus classes on Monday and Wednesday afternoons and decided to visit the library before class. The Water Works Library is on the red line and accessible at the Chicago stop. When I think of Chicago, Michigan Ave is the first thing that comes to mind. The Water Works Library is located in the heart of the business district at Michigan Ave and E Chicago Ave. Hershey’s Chocolate World Chicago, The Cheesecake Factory, and The American Girl Store at The Water Tower are a few of my favorite places close to the library. This library depicted a small medieval castle. It was constructed of large grey colored bricks. The atmosphere was very inviting. In the midst of the shops, theaters, and restaurants there lies a beautiful library that is open to the public. I imagine that tourist stop at the library to discover what the building is and admire its beauty. Next to the library is a small playground where parents can plan a full packed day of playing and reading at the library for their young children. I was very excited to enter the library. The door had a sign pointing to use the door around the corner. I approached the other door and it was locked. According to the website, the library was open and I saw people inside

The Southwest neighborhood library is located in ward 7 of Washington DC. Out of twenty-six neighborhood libraries the SOW library was the ninth library built. The library has 7 full time employees and 3 part-time employees. The branch is broken down into three parts, Children’s, Adults and Teens with 5 librarians, 2 library Associates and 4 para-professionals. The Branch manager of this location is Karen Quash; she has also received her MLIS degree from Catholic University of America. According to the DC Public Library organizational chart it is broken down in many different units, from the board of library trustees down to the libraries executive director Richard Reyes-Gavilian then the rest falls under the director in a chain of command.

I feel that since this is a public library that it effects how it is presented. I feel that the library system would like the patrons to understand that record, but it also has the records for librarians

August 28th, 2017 my hometown was struck with a devastating shooting at our local library. The tragedy left the citizens of Clovis scared and hopeless. The public library is thought to be a safe place for the community to escape the loud, outside world. When I was younger, I loved visiting the library to read and play with other kids. I remember each of the library employees vividly and how kind they were to every person they encountered. The shooter

The choice of warm or cool colors, organization, and layout of a room convey certain aspects of someone’s personality. “An ugly room can coagulate any loose suspicions as to the incompleteness of life, while a sun-lit one set with honey-coloured limestone tiles can lend support to whatever is most hopeful within us” (Part 4). Rooms not only have the ability to show aspects of a personality, but also bring out feelings based on their design. It’s the reason that doctors’ offices, schools, and businesses spend so much time coming up with a design that will bring out feelings of joy or happiness in the people that visit

Tonight I attended the “Human Library” in the Mulva Library. There were a lot of topics I was able to choose from; the two I chose were Trans* of Color, Genderqueer as well as Being Gay in Titletown. Those specific topics stuck out to me the most because I’ve always wanted to have a better understanding about the gay and trans community and I was hoping the human books would help me. I was not really sure what to expect when I arrived at Mulva and what it was actually going to be about but it was definitely eye opening and I really got to see from a different person’s perspective.
